Chapter 155: The Hungry Ghost

(The first more is presented, how many more are there today, it depends on how many votes you have!)

The Futu Daoist still did not return, and Chen Tang had a problem with his food, and he found that it was difficult to buy ingredients in the market. Meat is rare, vegetables and other things can't be bought with money, and the price of rice and grain has risen outrageously.

As the saying goes: it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. Although there is still rice in the Taoist temple, there is no food to eat, and it is very bland.

At noon, I dealt with it indiscriminately, and after just over an hour, my stomach was rumbling and I was panicking with hunger.

For dinner, Chen Tang decided to go outside, find a restaurant, or a tavern to have a good meal.

Looking around, several restaurants were closed and not opened. After walking for several miles, I finally found a place to do business, and when I went in and asked, there were no good dishes, just some dried tofu and the like.

Chen Tang held back his hunger and continued to look for it, and on a street, he saw a big restaurant with a famous name: Guiyunxuan.

The lights are brilliant and the fragrance wafts.

He perked up and hurriedly went in, seeing that there were not many guests inside. When I asked about Xiao Er, there were a lot of dishes, but the prices were more than twice as high as usual. But what can be done, eat.

Beef, stir-fried meat, duck soup, and a pot of wine......

Chen Tang ordered seven or eight things, and while worrying about the money, he feasted happily.

After eating and drinking, I bought a big roast chicken weighing more than two catties, packed it in paper, and took it back to the Taoist temple as a supper, and ate it tomorrow.

Put the book on your back and walk out of Guiyunxuan.

It was dark outside, with clouds and occasional snowflakes. It looks like heavy snow is coming.

When is it a head?

If the snow disaster continues like this, it will really become a starving ghost.

Chen Tang sighed secretly and propped up the canopy of the pole of the book and covered his head. The curtain is sewn from cloth, and the waterproof performance is not very good, but it can block some rain and snow.

Step up and return to the Taoist temple.

In the evening, pedestrians are rare on the streets. In such cold weather, most people hide at home and burn charcoal for warmth.

In winter, the price of charcoal in the capital has risen again and again, and when the snow strikes, it is difficult to buy charcoal in the market.

The Taoist temple does not burn charcoal, and every night when he sleeps, Chen Tang is lucky to ward off the cold - the main reason is that this Taoist looks like it is broken, but he doesn't know what formation spells people have arranged, and the indoor temperature is obviously much warmer than outside.

For example, now, the outside is at least a few degrees below zero, or even more than ten degrees, but inside the Taoist temple, it can still maintain the appearance of more than ten degrees, which is magical.

Chen Tang felt that it was a great blessing to have this Taoist temple to settle down.

Leave the street and turn into a narrow alley - this is a shortcut back to the Taoist temple, through it, and walk seven or eight miles, and you will arrive.

The alley was quite dark and damp, and the doors of the houses on both sides were all closed tightly and quietly.

Suddenly, Chen Tang's pace slowed down.

Not far in front of him, he saw two children, vaguely a boy and a girl, about six or seven years old, dressed in tattered clothes, long and short, and haphazardly wrapped. They had no hats on their heads, their little faces were red from the cold, and their cheeks were dirty, black and gray.

The two children held hands and stood there blankly, as if they were alarmed by Chen Tang's footsteps, and suddenly looked at them, with four eyes, and their eyes were a little strange.

"Uncle, do you have something to eat? I'm hungry!"

When Chen Tang approached, the little boy seemed to have mustered up the courage to stop in front.

"Hungry ...... too"

The little girl said timidly, her two big eyes, twinkling and twinkling.

Chen Tang looked at them and asked, "Where is your father?"

"They're at home. ”

"Where's home? I'll send you back and give you roast chicken." ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

Hearing that there was roast chicken to eat, the two children smiled happily, walked in front to lead the way, and jumped up.

After walking more than 100 meters, I turned right and arrived at the door of a house. The little boy stretched out his hand to push open the door and shouted happily, "Father, mother, my sister and I are back." ”

The little girl said crisply, "Father, mother, we met a kind uncle who wanted to give us roast chicken to eat." ”

A man and a woman walked out of the house, with a vegetable face, sad eyebrows, and the clothes on their bodies that had been worn for a long time, and they could no longer recognize their original colors.

The two of them had four eyes, and their eyes stared at Chen Tang greedily: "This son, do you really want to send us roast chicken to eat?"

Chen Tang nodded, took out the roast chicken, and opened the paper packet, revealing the burnt meat.

When the man saw it, he pounced on it, snatched it like a hungry ghost, and put it in his mouth, and after taking a bite, he seemed to think of something, and reached out to break off two chicken legs, one for each child, and tore a large piece of meat for his mother-in-law.

A family of four immediately devoured it.

"It's delicious, it's delicious......"

"So this is roast chicken, brother, I've never eaten it before......"

The two children stuffed their mouths with meat and muttered.

In less than half an hour, a roast chicken was eaten so thoroughly that even the bones were chewed and swallowed.

"But I'm still hungry......"

The little boy had a greasy mouth and touched his stomach.

The little girl said, "I haven't eaten enough...... either"

The man and the woman raised their heads, and their eyes fell on Chen Tang faintly.

Chen Tang sighed: "I don't have anything to eat." ”

The man suddenly grinned: "You still have it, take it out quickly." ”

Chen Tang spread his hands: "It's really gone." ”

"You can eat your flesh and your blood!"

The man roared violently, his hands outstretched, his nails furious.

"I'm going to eat ......"

The woman, as well as the two children, all looked at each other, and pressed towards Chen Tang step by step.

Airplanes!

Inside the book, the sword box was alarmed, the glow burst out, and the cover fell.

"Ahh

After the terrible scream, the family suddenly disappeared without a trace. Looking around again, Chen Tang was standing in front of the ruins of a collapsed house.

The house had obviously been crushed by heavy snowfall.

In the corner on the right, a straw mat was hidden, and when it was opened, a family of four was huddled there, covered with a shabby quilt and all kinds of clothes. Anyway, everything that can be warmed is covered with it.

But even so, the bodies of the four of them had already frozen into hard ice bars, and they didn't know how long they had been dead.

Hunger and cold, either freezing to death or starvation.

Chen Tang sighed again, these days, the situation outside the city is unknown, and in the city, I have really seen many people die and die on the streets.

When there are many people who die, evil spirits naturally breed.

What he saw just now was all Yin Soul Transfiguration, and from the very beginning, Chen Tang could see it clearly.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is evil spirits, and the way of this world is really about to change.

After putting the straw mat back on, Chen Tang walked away and returned to the Taoist temple

It was night, sitting in the middle of the room, a lamp like a bean, sitting upright.

I don't know how long it took, the wind outside the house whined, the sound of rustling, endlessly, and pieces of goose feather snow began to fall again.
